I like to include profanity in all my comments for spiciness.

More people should code Csound. Doesn’t matter if you’re musically inclined or not. Just do it. Make weird noises. Have fun!

It was pretty bad. He missed a lot of school. I think he ended up repeating grade six. I never saw him much after that, but I did hear that he got married to another person I went to school with eventually, so presumably his life wasn’t ruined or anything.

There was a solar eclipse when I was in grade six. One of my classmates was riding his bike home, and was stupidly looking at the eclipse, and got hit by a car. The irony.

Or when you have a problem that seems adjacent to another problem that many people have, but their solution doesn’t work for your niche case.

I trust auto save in… Souls games.

The older generation still skews largely conservative, and they (particularly the dreaded mother-in-law) expect certain behavior out of young, married women. When a couple get married, there is a prevailing attitude that the woman becomes a part of the man’s family and is expected to attend all their family gatherings, do a shit ton of cooking while the men get drunk and play games, and essentially forsake their own families. The number of grown men I’ve met that don’t know how to do a fucking load of laundry is disturbingly high because they’re molly-coddled (largely by their mothers) their entire lives. Particularly first-sons who are the only children who really matter to a lot of Korean parents and grandparents. Many women are - rightfully - rebelling against this. As are a lot of younger, more enlightened men.

Men on the other hand, are also rightfully upset that they are required to join the military for two years, usually right around the time they would be attending university. Which is giving women an edge in some aspects since they graduate sooner and don’t have their education interrupted by a military stint. Pretty sure the younger generation is in favor of getting rid of mandatory military service, but again, the older generation won’t have it. Especially with the North up there rattling their limp sabers constantly.

Basically, old conservatives ruin everything.

I’m partial to blaming European colonialism myself.

Yep. I really wish more had migrated over here from Reddit. Seems like it’s almost business as usual over there according to my friend who still uses it frequently.

I could join up and everyone could laugh at me because I know almost nothing about Pokemon.

I haven’t been back to Reddit since the first day of protests.

Not gonna lie though, I miss it. The niche stuff I went to Reddit for in the first place came here during the drama, but despite an initial push to get some replacement communities going here, they’ve gone almost completely inactive now.
